When Lola opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the stick in the pot with no blank bird attached. She was goggling at it when Mum called
from the garden.
“Hey Loll, this is amazing!” “What?”
“This!” She held up the paper bird.
“Why’d you chuck it out of the window?”
Lola rubbed her eyes. Wait... what? It couldn’t be.
She ran outside in her bare feet and took the bird from Mum’s hand. All its feathers were filled in with sparrow colours - blue, black, brown and grey. So Lola ran around the garden with it, shouting and cheeping.
“Someone’s cheered up a bit then,” said Mum, and the sparrows watched from Mrs Brady’s lilac tree and cheeped, “Come on, come on, come on!”
